I assume the round bit of plate is a baffle, is it tapered to allow for the light cone from the primary or have you just made the top end a little oversize?
BTW what is the F ratio of the primary?

Cheers,
Hi Ian,
The secondary is a n 7.5" convex mirror. The "can" around the mirror is the baffle and the primary is a f5.
The pic might explain it better.
